Charles Devlin Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 (edited) hello people I am wanting to reload 357 magnum bullets however the Lee reloading kit I’m told does not have the correct ‘bullet seating’ die can any one tell me if this is true or do I have to purchase a separate die for this operation? 🍻 I would also like to add that the ‘reseating die is the main problem as I will be casting lead bullets! Edited October 12, 2020 by Charles Devlin Lead cast bullets Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Imperfection Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Remember, 38 special dies will also reload 357mag, but 357 dies will only resize 357 cases. Buy yourself the Lee three die set and reloading book. https://www.henrykrank.com/reloading/lee-reloading/lee-die-sets/lee-carbide-pistol-3-die-set.html Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That used to be the case, I have both sets of dies, but it appears Lee only sell one die for both 357 & 38 now. Depending on what you're loading for I'd get the 4 die set. I wonder if the original post is asking about a sizing die rather than seating? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Vince Green Posted October 18, 2020 Share Posted October 18, 2020 You have to cast very hard bullets if you are going to load full .357 loads Quote Link to post Share on other sites
